Hotel Monaco Looks Exciting!
While making my way to Ritz East during the 21st Philadelphia Film Festival. (my film fest posts aren’t up yet, but be sure to follow my @phillyfilmfest tweets) I was suddenly struck by the tantalizing sight of a new boutique hotel and dining establishments. I can’t even recall what used to be on the corner of 5th & Chestnut? But now it’s the Hotel Monaco featuring The Red Owl Tavern and Stratus Rooftop, and I can’t wait to be up in both! The line for the rooftop was insane last night! Here’s a rundown tweeted earlier this month from uwishunu: The opening of The Hotel Monaco Philadelphia on Independence Mall is…

Dipping Into: Hello I Must Be Going
The title of the movie, Hello I Must Be Going is a song from an old Groucho Marx film which gets referenced in this film; but it’s also odd enough to sound like something Rose would say on Two and Half Men, the most recognized role for lead actress Melanie Lynskey.
